That was good. You could probably use any kind of meat/veg filling that you like. If the filling is cooked and hot you don't have to bake it or anything. Also mix with other greens like mustard and spinach and just steam.Mary Hysonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761108134258243637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-21277744240833376862012-05-14T22:25:21.327-04:002012-05-14T22:25:21.327-04:00They are very attractive and surprsingly milder th...They are very attractive and surprsingly milder than the other radishes I've planted this yeat.

After a few minutes take off heat and add a little soy sauce, mix, and grate cheddar cheese on top. Broil for a few minutes and viola! Enjoy whatever you do with chard. Love the above garlic and red pepper flake combo too!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835916593662798037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-48687267115792126002012-05-14T18:48:45.853-04:002012-05-14T18:48:45.853-04:00Beautiful harvest.

It is very similar to beet greens and is great simply sautéed in olive oil with garlic and crushed red pepper. The leafy parts can be torn and the stems chopped and added to soups and salads. You can also blanch and freeze it like spinach if you want to preserve some for the winter months.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-1917647924472270112012-05-14T18:04:09.479-04:002012-05-14T18:04:09.479-04:00Kris, they all get eaten.
